A CALIFORNIA LYNCHING.

The lynching OF the Chinaman Hong Di, near
Colusa, aliornia, yesterday, appears TO have had
stronger justification than proceedings oil the kiha
usually possess. The crime which Hong Di had
committed was an atrocious one, and after his
capture he had aggravated IL by slandering his
principal victim. The man was employed as cook
and house servant by farmer named Billion
One night Mrs. Billion her children ana '"
Weaver, the farm foreman. were at supper, Billion
himself being absent, when Hong Di began firing
upon the family with repeating rifle. One shot
struck and severely wounded Weaver Another
killed Mrs. Billion outright Weaver, though
crippled then managed 20 shut and lock the room
door, and one of the children escaping through
window, contrivcd, after being fired at by the
Chinaman to reach and rouse the nearest neigh

eluded pursuit, but the country was patrolled so
yigilantly that he could not 20 far in any
direction and at last being half starved, lac sur

In Jail he tried to mitigate his crime by invent

SFRVILE JOURNALISM.

"The New-YOrk Tines makes fantastic
effort to prove that it has more independence
than Democratic organs like 1.-The sun" ana
"The World 1t points with pride to the
fact that ait has condemned the retention oil
Mr. Garland in the Cabinet, not because II
was necessarily condonement OF proved cor
luption on his part, but because it was the
practical recognition Of low standard of
official honor which ought to DC sensitive to
the appcarance as well as to the reality OF
evil That Is its idea OF independent
ournalism-whipping the devil long way
around the stump. II will not admit that the
Attorney-G General prostituted his public func-
tons to private ends, or had lent his name
and reputation to ring OF Spectators and
Adventures. II will not acknowledge that the
retention of Mr. Garland in the Cabinet after
the scandalous nature of his relations with the
TELEPHONE ring had been disclosed implied
an official condoncment Of his acts. The most
that can be squeezed out OF it is roundabout
phrase anent the practical recognition OLA
low standard of official honor which ought to
be sensitive to the appearance as well as to
the reality of evil This being interpreted
means that Mr. Garland's conduct, judged by
Mngwump standards, did not look quite right
albeit it may have been and doubtless was ID
reality perfectly virtuous; and "The Times
proudly refers to this faint and oquivocal con
domination Of that notorious scandal as evidence
that it exercises the critical functions of indie
pendent journalism in passing Judgment upon
the Administration
This illustration offers in reality proof OF
the alb jcct partisanship with which that journal
has defended Mr.. Cleveland in every critical
emergency. The charges against MIR. Garland
were originally published in THE TRIBUNE.

ing story duplicating Mrs. Billion and weaver
,t was palpably false, and his responsibility 1or
so wanton and cruel a calumny intensified the
popular Indignation The trial OF this assassin
had just been had, and resulted in the verdaco
of murder in the first degree, the jury liking the
penalty ut imprisonment for life. The sentence
was plainly incommensurate with the character
of the crime. The latter was a most treacherous'
brutal and cruel assassination, for winch no
motive could be assigned beyond the circumstance
that the murderer had been scolded for not dong
his work properly There was certainly no reason
for leniency in the case, and the danger To whlch
families all over California might be exposed
from anything like feeble treatment OF so abomih-
able an outrage should tove convinced the Jury that
captaI punishment was incumbent upon them
II is indeed remarkable that California jury
could be found TO discriminate in favor OF
Chinese criminal; even more remarkable In iacs
than the lynching When the people heard what
the jury had done, however, their patience came
to an end and they followed precedent only
TOO well established On the Pacific Coast ana
